The Rewind Podcast – Not For Us 2: A Nosferatu Review

Jonah and Keeks got together to discuss the wild ride that was “Nosferatu” (2024). The dynamic duo recounts their out-of-control experience in the theater and Keeks’ obsession with Willem Dafoe’s accent. *SPOILER WARNING* Dafoe is the stand-out yet again. In addition to Dafoe’s scene-stealing performance, Keeks and Jonah found appreciation in the cinematography and costume design…beautiful gowns.

After reviewing the film, the hosts test a new segment to review a trailer for “Birdeater.” Australian directors Jack Clark and Jim Weir describe this chilling movie as a visually striking psychological thriller.
